This grouse is nicely framed with this focus clearly on the subject. Very Nice

Thanks Clifford, the grouse are pretty comfortable around people so I had time to play around.

Great composition, Debra, with the soft tamarack needles opposed to the sharp focus on the bird.

I can always count on seeing a few spruce grouse in the fall hanging around the tamarack trees. Such soft needles no wonder the grouse love to eat and perch them thanks for the feedback Jane always appreciated.

Lovely see-through shot Debra. Love the soft green colour and the goose is perfectly detailed. Well done.

Thank you Yves, I did have trouble finding an angle to get a clear shot.

Beautiful capture of this Spruce Grouse, Debra. She looks very cute and cozy surrounded by the soft boughs of the tamarack.

Thank you Heather, the grouse get themselves pretty comfortable up in the tamarack boughs.

This pretty female Spruce Grouse was busy filling up on tamarack needles and seeds. Picture was taken at Eagle-Dogtooth Provincial Park.
